Accor ingly, only so much of the machine will be described in detail herein as is necessary to a clear understanding of this invention and reference may be had to said co-pending application for a description of features of construction not fully described herein.

The nails which attach the heel seat are preferably driven simultaneously and in order that the machine may operate effectively upon shoes of a wide range of sizes and to provide for adjusting the nailing mechanism quickly and easily to accommodate different ranges of sizes of shoes, three gangs of nail drivers are provided, each gang being intended for use on five different sizes of shoes. These gangs of drivers, each composed of a number of drivers 50 correspondmg to the number of nails it is desired to insert in the heel seat to secure it firmly in position, have dovetailed connections with the lower end of a driver operating plunger 28 which is reciprocated in a movable cas ing 46 through a rack 30, segment gear 32, and levers 36, 38 connected to a camdisk 42 upon a driving shaft 43. The-lower portion of the plunger 28-is somewhat smaller in one of its transverse dimensions so that it may enter one of the guides'in a driver ide slide arranged to slide transversely through the casing 46 to bring the selected gang of drivers into operative position.

The awls 60, of which there are three gangs corresponding in numbers and ar rangement to the three gangs of drivers, are carried by an awl carrying slide 74 and automatic means is provided for moving the slide to cause it to bring the selected gang of awls into operative position in the lower part of the casing 46. This means comprises a pusher bar having a vertical dovetail connection with the awl carryingslide 74 at its front end to provide for the vertical reciprocation of the awls and connected at its rear end to a cam disk upon the driving shaft 43.

The nails to be driven are delivered into suitable openings in a nail block 100 through which they pass into contact with the work and into which the drivers enter to drive the nails. The nail block is provided with three sets of nail receiving openings which corres end in numbers and arrangement to the t ree sets of drivers and awls", the nail block being constructed and arranged to be moved into positions to bring the desired openings into operative relation to the corresponding gangs of drivers and awls.

The nails are delivered to the'openings in the nail block 100 by nail loaders 162, there being one of these nail loaders for each of the three size ranges so that the openings in the nail loader will register properly with the openin s in the nail block and each nail loader is adapted to he slipped into the nail loader carrier when the nail block has been adjusted to bring the set of nail receiving openings for that size range into proper osltion beneath the nail loader carrier. he nail loader has a rib and groove connection with the awl carrying slide 74 which permits the slide 74 to reciprocate and also enables the nail loader to be moved between nail receiving position and nail delivering position by the movement of the awl carrying slide into and out of operative position.

The nail block, the awls and the drivers are moved into operative relation to each other by a hand lever 110 connected through a rack and gear connection 114 to the driver guide slide to bring the gan s of drivers into operative relation to the pfunger 28, to the awl carrying plates, and to the nail block to move it into position beneath the proper gang of drivers intended to enter the openmgs.

The means for supplying nails to the nail loader when it is in fastening receivingposition comprises a plurality of flexible nail tubes 168, one for each opening in the nail loader, these tubes serving to guide the nails froma corresponding number of raceways which are supplied with nails by'segmental lifting plates 286. These lifting plates oscillate in a nail pot or holder 288, the plates be1ng carrled upon a rock shaft 294 which has connections to a shaft 310 connected to the source of power so that the nail supplymg mechanism may be constantly o erated. A nail separator is provided to deliver the nails from the raceways to the nail delivering tubes 268.

Any suitable'work support may be used with this machine. In most instances, however, a work support of the jack type will be preferred since the heel seat is prefer ably nailed while the shoe is upon an iron bottom last which acts to clench the nails upon the inside of the shoe. The'illustrated ]3.Ck is of the type in which the shoe is supported both at the toe and heel ends and comprises a toe post 648 carrying a toe pad 652 and a heel post 646 carrying a last pin (not shown) both posts being mounted upon a bed 644. This bed is slidably carried upon a bracket 658 pivotally secured to the upper end of a work supporting post 641 which is movable toward and from the machine on a rock shaft 642 in the base of the machine frame.

In accordance with the present invention, the illustrated machine is organized to lay the outsole on the shoe bottom and to nail the heel seat end of the outsole to the shoe bottom, the heel seat end of the outsole being laid independently of the forepart of the outsole and prior to the insertion of the nails tsicelirods aeo extending 25,.

The rod' 593 is arranged to movd'vertically 'in 4 guides 598, 600 and isrovided with a vertical groove 602 into w llch' extends'a screw 604-to keepthe rod from turn ing about-its longitudinal axis. A-sp'ring' 606 confined between the lowe'r guide 600 a and thebracket 592 tends-to keep the rod 593 in its uppermost position. The rod'5 93' may be depressed-to move the bracket-59L downwardly by means of connections to 'a treadle (not shown) in the base-eithemachine these connections comprisingarom 610 pivota lly connected to the tread'le'be" tween its ends'and having at its-upper and w yoke 612 whichreceives trunnion's carried by a sleeve 6'14 confined uponthe rod-593 by a-collar 616. Depression of the' rod'61'0 causes the sleeve 614 to pull downwardly on the collar 616, thereby depressing the rod 593 against the spring 606. As the rod 593 is depressed it carries down the bracket 592 and the hook 590 bearing upon the lug 588 pulls the pin 576 out of the hole 584 in the part 5 2 of the two-part bell-crank lever, thereby permitting the spring 538 to move the clutch member 526 into engagement with the pulley 442. As the sleeve 438 begins to turn with the pulley 442, the cam 542 rotates so that the cam roll 564 bears upon the lower part of the cam, that is, the part-nearer the shaft 440, thereby permitting the part 574 of the bellcrank to be swun back against the tension of a spring 618 into position to bring the pin 576 again beneath the hole 584 m the part 572.

The means for operating the sole laying mechanism automatically comprises an arm 620 carried upon a hub 621 loosely mounted upon a horizontal rock-shaft 622, the hub 621 being provided with a tooth 623 adapted to be, engaged by a tooth 624 upon a sleeve 625-keyed upon the shaft 622 whereby it may slide longitudinally upon said shaft to bring its tooth 624 into and out of engagement with the tooth 623 upon the hub 621. Thearm 620 is arranged to engage axledge 626 formed upon the'braoket 592.

The rock-shaft622 is rocked to cause the arm 620 to depress the bracket 592 and with it the hook 590 by connections to the gear wheel 524 comprising an arm 627 clamped at. one end upon the shaft 622 and having at its outer end a cam roll which enters a cam groove 628-in the gear wheel 524.

In order that the nailin mechanism may be easilyturned over by land without actuating the sole laying mechanlsm, means is provided for interruptlng the operat ng connections between the nailing mechanism and the sole laying mechanism, this means serving also to remove the brake 458 from the brake surface 456 upon the clutch member 444. The illustrated means comprises a rod 629 (Fig. 4) connected to the brake member 458 and upon which is confined, between a collar 630 and a cam face 632 formed upon the bearing in the frame for said rod, a cam sleeve 631 provided with a handle 633 which, as it is turned upon said rod 629, either moves said rod longitudinally to remove the brake 458 from the brake surface 456 upon the clutch surface 444, or permits said brake to be moved back into its operative braking position by a spring 634, bearing at one end against said brake and at its other end against the bot tom of a socket in the machine frame. Clamped upon the brake 458 is an arm 636 which is connected by a rod 637 to a yoke 638 receiving trunnions upon a ring 639 confined by collars upon the sleeve 625. When the cam sleeve 631 is turned in a direction to move the brake 458 out of engagement with the brake surface 456, the rod 637 will be moved in a direction to cause the tooth 624 on the sleeve 625 to be moved out of engagement with the tooth 623 on the hub 621 whereby when the rock-shaft 622 is turned the arm 620 will not be turned with said rock-shaft and the solelayin mechanism will not be clutched to thep1iiley442 The operation of the parts of the several mechanisms has been sufliciently set forth in detail in the foregoing description of the several mechanisms. In the use of the machine the operator usually or commonly first jacks the shoe thus, as heretofore explained, pressing the shoe into operative e agement withAthe heel part laying pad. %11en the heel portion of the shoe has been laid the operator starts the machine by depressing the treadle 490 which, through connections 492, link 480 and lever 464, causes the clutch member 442 to enga e the continuously rotating pulley 442 w ereupon the heel iseat end securing gang of fastening's are inserted. During the insertion of the heel seat fastenings the forepart sole laying pad moves into position through its-connections with the eccentric 418 on the shaft 420 to lay the forepart of the sole. It will beobserved that the heel seat fastenings are all inserted dur: ing the first complete revolutioir of the cam shaft. To efl'ect further revolutions ,of the said shaft to return the forepart sole laying pad to its inoperative position after the completion of the forepart laying o oration, usually a treadle (not shown) is epressed thereby lowering the rod 610 which pulls downwardly on the collar 616 andreleases the pin 57 6 to enable the clutch member 526 to move into operative relation to the pulley 442. It will be noted, however, that if desired the forepart pad canbe returnedtoits inoperative position by manipulation of the hand wheel which is integral with the clutch member 526, the stop 519 at this time being arrangedin the path of an adjustable stop 523 upon the lever 464 to prevent engagement of the clutch member 444 with the pulley 442. The described construction-and arrangement whereby both manually operated and power operated'means for op eratin the sole layinig pad are provided have t e advantage 0 permitting the o erator to examine the shoe while it is in t e forepart sole laying means without operating the fastening inserting mechanism to insure proper operation of the sole laying means. Furthermore, it will be noted that after the forepart sole laying pad has been brought into its operative sole laying position the operator may subject the sole of the shoe to the fore art sole laying pressure for any length of time which may be desirable,

nnd lay the heel seat of one-shoe and then, after laying the forepnrt of that shoe, leave the-shoe in the forepart sole laying; means while he similarly operates the other machine upon a second shoe, thereby insuring that the iorepert of each shoeis allowed to set under sole --laymg pressure a sufiicient le h oftime; i
